The Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike is the first gaming mouse to offer adjustable actuation and rapid trigger for super-quick click response. I’m already sold on it, having used it a ton over the last week in my Counter-Strike matches, and it looks like a bunch of other competitive gamers are sold on it, too. But it’s not exactly the lightest mouse on the market right now.
It’s not heavy, but at 61 g with its UPE-furnished puck fitted, it’s a far cry from the 36 g of the Corsair Sabre V2 Pro or the 39–41 g of the Pulsar X2 CrazyLight Medium. The former has been my go-to for a while, as I think there’s a genuine benefit to using a lightweight mouse for competitive shooters.
Which all explains why Logitech says that for the pros who tested the prototype Superstrike, the new technology was more important than cutting down weight. When I visited Logitech HQ last week, engineer Frédéric de Goumoëns explained: “The feedback we have from this is that the improvement, the benefit from the hits technology, was really the thing they care about, that the weight was kind of secondary for them.”
I also sat down with Regis Croissonnier, Logitech’s chief engineer, and asked him specifically about this mouse compared to lightweight mice. He responded: “Lightweight? No doubt, we need to do lightweight, but fine, what else?”
“What’s next?” he continued, “How can we even further improve the experience, the performance for gamers?… We don’t want to keep fighting for numbers… one kilohertz, eight kilohertz… We’re trying to optimise… to save 10 microsecond latencies, right?
“Good. But how might we do it differently? And I think Superstrike is a good example where we came up with a new technology, helping us to save 30 milliseconds. So it’s much bigger than what we are trying to achieve by saving 10 microseconds here or here, you know.”
And as I said, after using the G Pro X2 Superstrike extensively over the last week, I can’t say I disagree. I do hope the technology will come to lighter and cheaper mice over the years, but for now I’m happy with 61 g, even though there are significantly lighter options on the market.
